LABS, lactos acid bacteria. Options for wey.

Ok all youun garden chemists, i got a question.
I've made LABS, lactos acid bacteria serum in the past and have to say I have seen visable results of vigorous frpwth and terp mutiplication.
It's a ferment that uses a wash from dry rice and whole milk. The end prpducr is the clear yellow liquid called whey. This is the end product that is diluted and used foiler or in soil drench.

We also regularly make milk keifer, it is made with whole milk as well but uses the natural occuring bacteria of keifer.
The end product produces the same clear yellow liquid whey.

So,,,,, my question is, since both products produce a byprpduct from the dairy milk called whey.
Can this whey be used safely in a grow room enviroment too?
TIA

Ok...I used to make EM1...but now just buy bokashi...great mixed in soil or top dressed...not good for unestablished root systems ie... new seedlings or recent clones until they get a good root hold...
Keifer...careful, also a racist term,?
Yeah I have made LABS before as well for foliar spraying... as well as keifer from seeds, beans, grains, rice??? Don't remember?

Good stuff.

More than likely. I've done similar in the past, using lacto serum derived from homemade kimchi.

The thing about lactobacillus, and why it's used in fermenting foods, is that in the right conditions it'll create an environment in which it'll multiply rapidly. The salt that's used in the initial process for any lacto fermentation (sauerkraut, kimchi, etc) keeps other bacteria out while allowing the lactobacillus to thrive.

I make us sauerkraut too with salt but milk keifer and this rice based keifer has no salt addition. Both have bacterium in either the grains or the wash from the rice. Both produce a layer of curds (keifer or cheese) a layer of liquid whey and a layer of leeds.

I've been following a bloke named Joe grow or something like that. Pretty switched in fella. He has a website and checked it out after a YouTube video on labs. His video recommends doing labs in a sealed bucket fermenter etc like brewing beer. Water air lock etc. Both types of labs side by side on microscope slides. Normal one with air cheese cloth cover much less and alot look dead with contaminants. Sealed one live and kicking. Pretty decent site for organics knf ferments etc
Definitely going to try airlock style next time and see for myself

As a foiler spray the deluted whey should kill PM as well. Very interesting?
